Ohio bill would require insurers to cover needed prosthetics and orthotics for up to 250,000 residents.
A bipartisan Ohio bill led by Representatives Dontavius Jarrells and Jean Schmidt aims to require private insurers to cover medically necessary prosthetics and orthotics, improving access for up to 250,000 residents with limb loss or mobility challenges.
Inspired by similar laws in about a dozen states, the legislation seeks to eliminate financial barriers to high-quality, activity-friendly devices without imposing cost caps or changing replacement rules.
Supporters say it will boost mobility, independence, and mental health, with no significant expected increase in insurance costs.
The bill is expected to be introduced soon.
